Mogie: The Heart of the House Hardcover – Picture Book, June 10, 2014

A sweet story about a puppy who lands the best job of all his littermates - he becomes a facility dog (dog in residence) for a Ronald McDonald house. Making kids happy, even for a day, is something dogs love. Here Mogie gets to do it all of the time! Having three dogs of my own that provide animal assisted activity visits and therapy work with kids, it's easy to see they joy in a child's eyes when the dog is so excited to see them. The power of the human-animal bond is only now being quantified by research, but those who love dogs have known this all along.

I bought this book for my great niece and her family. She is getting treatment for leukemia and they stay at the Ronald McDonald House. This story is about a little dog who becomes a mascot at the Ronald McDonald House. My niece's family stays at the Ronald McDonald when she is in the hospital for treatments. I thought she would enjoy reading it to the younger kids whose families stay there.

I had the pleasure of meeting the "REAL" Mogie in October at the Ronald McDonald Charity Golf Tournament. He is an absolutely delightful dog. He actually SMILES. I have purchased 6 of these books for all the small children on my Christmas List.BUY THIS BOOK. It will warm your heart.

Precious story. I’m not crying, you are. Benefits great cause.

Mogie is such a sweetheart; not only in the book but in "real life". He has the ability to know each and every person's inner feelings and responds accordingly. What a blessing Houston's Ronald McDonald House is to many people; Mogie just makes it all the more special.

Great Story. This is a Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award book. Kindergarten through 3 graded all over the state of WA will vote for 1 of 20 books to receive the 2016 WCCPBA Award.

This is such a heartwarming book. My kids love it. It's a great way to expose kids to the idea of helping others. My oldest daughter (4) wants to to anything she can to help the sick children at Ronald McDonald house.

Such a sweet story about a dog that thankfully found a home that was perfect for him and the purpose he was born for.
